Have questions about compounded prescriptions, payment, reimbursement, preparation time, or shipping? Prescription Compounds is here to help patients and providers understand the process with clear, practical pharmacy support.
From compounded medications to refill, transfer, pickup, and shipping questions, our team helps make pharmacy care clear, accessible, and patient-focused.
Why might I need a compounded medication?
Not every medication works the same way for every person. Most medications are made in standard strengths and forms, which may not always be the right fit.
A compounding pharmacy can prepare a medication based on a prescription from a licensed prescriber when a commercially available medication does not meet a patient’s specific medical needs. Adjustments may include strength, dosage form, or certain ingredients, when clinically appropriate.
This may be helpful if you:
- Have trouble swallowing pills
- Need a different form, such as a liquid or topical option
- Are sensitive to certain ingredients like dyes or preservatives
Each compounded medication is prepared for your prescription, following your provider’s instructions.
Are there other reasons a compounded medication may be needed?
Yes. In some cases, a medication is no longer made by the manufacturer due to low demand or availability.
When that happens, a compounding pharmacy may be able to prepare an appropriate formulation based on a prescription from a licensed prescriber, your individual needs, and applicable compounding laws and requirements.
Do you accept insurance for compounded prescriptions?
We do not bill insurance directly. Many compounded medications are not covered by insurance plans.
Can I get reimbursed for compounded medications?
Yes, we can provide an Insurance Claim Form that you can submit to your insurance provider.
In some cases, insurance plans may offer reimbursement. Coverage and eligibility depend on your specific plan.
How much do compounded medications cost?
Pricing varies by prescription and ingredients. We can provide pricing details before your medication is prepared.
How long does it take to prepare a compounded medication?
Preparation time can vary depending on the prescription, ingredients, and any special requirements.
Once your prescription is reviewed, our compounding pharmacy team will provide an estimated pickup or delivery time.
What payment methods does your compounding pharmacy accept?
We accept:
- Cash
- Checks
- All major credit cards
- Health Savings Accounts, or HSAs
Do you offer shipping for compounded medications?
Yes, we offer shipping Monday through Thursday using UPS, FedEx, and USPS, when permitted and appropriate for the specific medication.
Shipping times may vary depending on your location and the details of your compounded medication.
Can I use my HSA or FSA Card to pay for my prescription?
Yes.
Important Note
Compounded medications are prepared based on a prescription from a licensed prescriber to meet an individual patient’s specific medical needs. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed.
